One of the best ways to do rural Italy is in agriturismo's such as the Villa Luca just outside of Sant' Agata Militello on the northern coast of Sicily. The cuisine, made from ingredients produced right here on the farm, will knock the socks off the most discerning visitor, while the sublime landscape and relative cheapness of Sicily makes for a great all round package.
The
magical island of Sicily has so much to offer everyone who
passes by here, and thanks to the low cost of living in rural
southern Italy it’s a lot easier on the wallet too!
Travel around the region in a hire car to get the best of
it, or alternatively use the efficient coach network (see
the useful links below) to get around.
Getting here is fairly easy too, with overnight trains running
all the way from central Europe via Milan, Florence, Rome
and Naples – and an overnight train is a great way to
save money on accommodation. Alternatively, check out the
low cost domestic flights that are available throughout Italy
now – serving both Palermo and Catania Airports.
